Ok, so I stole these shorts from a website... I don't remember which one, if I find it, I will post credit. But in the mean time....
The USAF Thunderbirds did a few quick flyovers at the Magic Kingdom and Epcot today... They were setting up and practicing for an airshow this weekend... Someone did get some photos of them also.... Let me know if you want larger versions...
I remember, I snagged them from this thread over at WDWMagic.com: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=296261

I would love to get copies of these some how. I have seen the Thunderbirds at least a hundred times. My father was in the Air Force and I got to meet a lot of the pilots over the years. My most recent was this past August at Otis ANG Base on Cape Cod. It is nice to see two female pilots now.

I have seen the ThunderBirds at the local air show a few years ago. They were
very cool to see. 
This year it was the Blue Angles, they were also very cool. |

They were designed that way... so you wouldn't know they were there until it was too later

John, we're not talking about the cartoon show with the puppets. You know, like when you used to sit on the floor in your Incedible Hulk jammies eating your cheerios until Kathy would tell you to hurry up or you'd be late for work. Okay now. Go ahead and sting me with a comment about being old.

No sting about your age. Thunder Birds are GO!!
I loved that show when I was a kid.
But no Incredable Hulk jammies. They were Spiderman jammies.
And sorry to hear Howdy Doody got canceled Figment we all know that was
your fav.
You know I couldn't resist. |

| Wait, I thought the Thunderbirds were a blues/rock band from the 80's. How do they fit a drumset into that small plane? |
